I say be true to you... I sure as hell found myself through it all and made no apologies to anyone. For me Chemo was the depths of hell, and same, I used to get people say the most ridiculous things, like you look so well, gee you're managing so well!! Ohhh and youre so positive...funny thing is, that has ZERO to do with it..so I say to you JUST BE YOU and don't apologize to anyone. The other thing that may be helpful is talking with someone? Not sure if youve tried counseling or a Psychologist, but it really helps. The Forum has been great too because we all get it, and we are never silenced in any way, we get to say exactly how we feel and that's so important. Hang in there...it will get better. xx Melinda xo
